  Hello just chasing any info on kitting in Tahiti/Bora Bora. I've done a quick search and and can't really find much in English (most of it French) but from what I gather most of it is done around Pointe Matira & August is the best time to try to hit it. Anyway any info would be sweet. 
THANKS

I went to Bora Bora in June 2008 took an 11m and twin tip. Not alot of wind got to kite from the north of Bora Bora down the East side south following our yacht. There is not too many places there to kite if you get wind.
IMO it was not worth me taking my gear but the 2 hours on the water was good fun.
